Hi! Thanks for visiting. I'm an American photographer living in Buenos Aires. These are photos from the blog I kept on my site from 2003 to 2009. I now have redesigned the home page to just show a portfolio of my current work. I also blog at BuenosAiresPhotographer.com where I post my baires snapshots.

 

Um Veado That's Portuguese for deer. It's also slang in Brazil for gay. I go hiking at lot at this county park nearby where the deer are tame and everywhere. I was joking with some friends of mine in Brazil that I think of them whenever I see these deer [Vocês sabem quem são]. YouTube I've been surfing the long tail of videos on YouTube. I'm totally lame for not embedding these vidoes and making you click thru to their site: Todos Me Miran. Gloria Trevi's big comeback hit. As my friend Jesse says, finally an anthem for the tragic drag queen in us all! Ni Una Sola Palabra, Paulina Rubio. Only slightly less gay than Gloria Trevi, the single from her new album. Check out her gold cape. Diva Superstar! Influencia, Charly Garcia. The god of Argentine rock. He's got this whole Keith Richards, leathery rockstar, should-be-dead onda about him. This is from 2002, 30 years earlier and you get... Cancion Para Mi Muerte, Sui Generis. Filmed at the BARock festival in 1972. Charly Garcia is the young, nerdy piano player barely seen. This song, along with most of Sui Generis' stuff is the kind of stuff Argentinos will sing around a camp fire. It's very hippie-ish and melancholy. It's superfamous altho not everyone likes it. My friend Julian once said it was musica para cortarse las veinas [music to slit your wrists by]. Thanks to pirated MP3 CDs I have every single album by Charly Garcia and his related groups. I rank him with Brian Wilson and Paul McCartney as one of the greatest writers of melody in pop music ever. Cuando Pase el Temblor, Soda Stereo. They've got the new wave look down. This song and Soda Stereo was big not just in Argentina but all over Latin America. They're much better known than Charly. It's Time to Disco from Kal Ho Naa Ho. A Bollywood music sequence that my friend Jeff sent me. Just because.
